Pupil Development Grant
SHARE

The Welsh Government’s School Uniform Grant is now known as the Pupil Development Grant and if you’re eligible you can apply now to receive up to £200 to help with the cost of school uniforms.

The Grant is paid to recognise the variety of costs parents have when their children start school and to promote a greater uptake of wider activities by our disadvantaged learners, the funding is wide in scope.

This funding will not be limited to supporting the cost of school uniform and it also covers equipment and allows for being part of out of school activities such as scouts and guides.
